I love these books. Yes, the main character is shallow and vain and quite self-absorbed, but most teenage girls are to a certain extent, right? I love that despite these things, Georgia remains a lovable character, and we get to see the chinks in her armour, as it were. She really does love her parents, even though most of the time they annoy her half to death and do things she finds appalling. You didn't feel like that as a teenager?! I did! She cares about her friends. She makes mistakes that she regrets. And what makes these books so fun is that they are almost like the diary of the class clown...how many books have you read like that? It is a familiar yet unique perspective, in my opinion. I love them and will continue to love them. If you were once a teenage girl, don't take life incredibly seriously, and can find the humor in funny thingositys, you will probably enjoy these, too.
